Cooleys Tenure As Fast Bowling Coach At BCCI CoE Ends, No Clarity Yet On Filling Vacant Post
Karnataka State Cricket Association: Troy Cooleys tenure as fast bowling coach at the BCCIs Centre of Excellence (CoE) has come to an end. The decorated Australian coach came on board in late 2021 with an aim to build and nurture Indias next set of fast bowlers. His tenure saw him working closely with the pacers and in coordination with VVS Laxman, the head of cricket at CoE, previously known as National Cricket Academy (NCA). Cooley was the bowling coach of the Indian women's team in the T20 World Cup in South Africa in February 2023 and worked in the same role with the India men's A team on their tour of England earlier this year. Sources have told IANS that Cooley, 60, will leave the CoE facility on Saturday. As of now, there is no official word yet on who will step in to fill in the void left by his departure. Cooleys departure also means yet another vacancy in the CoEs coaching structure has been created. Last month, Rajib Dattas tenure as the bowling coach and lead faculty at CoE came to an end. In August this year, the BCCI put out advertisements for resident faculty in batting and bowling. Moreover, CoEs sports science and medicine head position is yet to be filled. Ever since former head Nitin Patel moved on, an advertisement was put out inviting prospective applicants in August. But IANS understands that theres no word yet on who would fill in the vacancy of this critical post. Last month, the BCCI invited applications for the role of Head Cricket Education at the CoE, after Sujith Somasunder left the position to become the vice-president of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA). The deadline for sending applications was December 8, and it remains to be seen in how much time the position can be filled. With players all-format workload requiring sustained care and monitoring across both mens and womens set-ups, Indian cricket cannot afford further delay in filling its critical roles at CoE. IANS also understands that Munish Bali has moved out of the CoE to be attached full-time with the India womens team, in the same capacity that batting coach Sitanshu Kotak currently serves with the mens side. Bali, who was a member of the coaching staff when the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side won the 2025 Womens ODI World Cup at home, was previously contracted to the CoE and deputed to be with the womens team before making a recent full-time shift to the national side. IANS also understands that Munish Bali has moved out of the CoE to be attached full-time with the India womens team, in the same capacity that batting coach Sitanshu Kotak currently serves with the mens side. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The arrival of Nathan Kiely, who was believed to join the Indian womens team as their S&C coach, is pending. The Australia-based Kiely had stepped down from his role as Bangladesh mens S&C coach in October citing personal reasons, and theres a hope that he could join the team during their all-format tour of Australia set to happen from February 15 to March 6 next year.

Geospatial technologies play key role in climate action, disaster resilience: Experts
BENGALURU: Dr Gopal Krishna Patra, Director, CSIRFourth Paradigm Institute, said, Conducting scientific studies on climate change and environmental instability is crucial for the safety and progress of humankind. He was delivering the keynote address as the Chief Guest at the 14th UGIT International Conference GeoVision 2025: Geospatial Innovation for Climate Action, Disaster Resilience and Environmental Sustainability, organised by the Department of Geography, Bangalore University. Dr Patra stated that while earthquakes and natural disasters cannot be predicted with absolute precision, advanced geospatial tools such as GPS, GIS and Artificial Intelligence enable detailed monitoring of movements in the Earths crust. These technologies help identify seismic zones and vulnerable regions, thereby strengthening disaster preparedness and mitigation efforts. He observed that climate change has intensified extreme events such as cyclones, heat waves and cold waves, impacting agriculture, health, food security and livelihoods, and emphasised the need for continuous scientific assessment and discussions. Meanwhile, Prof. Ashok D. Hanjagi, Head, Department of Geography, urged students and geography professionals to adopt next-generation geospatial technologies. He said, Geospatial innovation plays a vital role in addressing challenges such as climate change, environmental degradation, rapid urbanisation and natural disasters. He noted that global institutions including the IPCC, UNDRR, UNEP and the World Meteorological Organization have consistently underlined the importance of science-based solutions for long-term sustainability. An MoU was signed between Bangalore University and the Karnataka State Remote Sensing Applications Centre (KSRSAC) towards strengthening academic and research collaboration, promoting joint research initiatives, capacity building, data sharing, and the effective application of geospatial technologies to address societal and developmental needs.
